We had the same demography as Russians (around 34 million inhabitants whereas the British were half of that). Germany also wasn't united.
Napoleon was a pure genius who also had enough human resources to reach his goals. He probably wouldn't have started his conquests if he didn't have these resources anyway.

Napoleon was like a very skilled but unlucky and too ambitious EU4 player. Because of all his Agressive Expansion points, everybody allied against him, struggling to win at first, then overwhelming later. He even tries to go out with a firework. Truly one of history's most interesting characters.

Poland-Lithuania: *goes from being one of the largest countries in Europe to being wiped off the map in 3 years*
One of the strongest and biggest, sadly in 1700 Poland had economic and internal problems which our neighbours used and take our land. 1772, 1793, 1795.
That's the biggest flaw of the video. I will have to read up on that and will most likely edit my comment afterwards, but, yeah, the First Partition of Poland happened before the French Revolution, so I have a hard time understanding why exactly was it included at the beginning of 1790s (when it originally happened in 1773), only to be succeeded by the Second Partition which happened in 1793.
Edit: Sike! I didn't pay enough attention to the video on first watch. Poland starts out with the First Partition borders then is put through the Second. Silly me.

Civil unrest in france had little effect on the military, in fact revolutionary guard enjoyed unmatched morale and France could field superior troops thanks foreign auxiliaries and a new invention - nation wide conscription.
@@rockun7929 The Revolution had a massive effect on the French army :
- That was composed of the nobles, but they got expelled so basically the French army was shattered.
- Had to force conscription and enroll unexperienced citizen as officers
- Renew all its military doctrine.
In the end it led to the best generation of French militaries, but in the begining it was a big danger.

Got nothing? They took colonies from Spain, France and Netherlands, and all colonial rivals (Spain, France and Netherlands again) were on their knees at the end of the war. They had all what they wanted. Austria put much more effort in the war and won less (some border changes but not in the good way, influence in German states eroded in favour of Prussia...)
The Peninsular war was probably the worst idea Napoleon ever had, either that or y’know Russia
Definitely Russia
The thing about the peninsular war is that Napoleon completely remade 1700’s warfare, but only in a way that works against conventional armies. The Spanish using guerrilla tactics completely upended this
@@karlwittenburg5868 Spanish...
@@karlwittenburg5868 but Nápoleon dont have defeatings in rusia, was The extremely cold weather
@@jijex213 it was not only cold weather, but that too
@@jijex213 Borodino would like a word. And before you say that was a French victory, it was a victory on paper only. It destroyed half the French army, and Napoleon failed to gain a decisive victory which he needed to win. It was a tactical and maybe even operational victory, but a strategic defeat.
Another interesting thing about this map, that no one talks about, is that it reminds us that even before Napoleon was put into charge of everything, France, while dealing with huge internal problems, insurrections and civil war, also managed to fight its neighboring monarchies on every border, even pushing into Flanders to the borders of the Dutch Republic. For anyone who knows a bit about these chaotic times in France, despite the general mess inside the country the revolution allowed talented men to express themselves (talents who were shut down before the revolution as within the "Ancien Regime" any important position was occupied by noblemen ; birth privilege came before talent). This is how talented soldiers, such as Napoleon Bonaparte but also others like Lazare Hoche (who was a rising star just like Napoleon, sadly he died very young of tuberculosis) quickly accessed the higher positions in the Army and managed to win against these coalitions despite the odds.
Russia, every time the European powers are at war: Oh thank God, now I can have Poland again.

@@sucellus5452 Its a common misconception that winter was the reason Napoleon lost the war. Thats not actually true, far more of his soldiers died in the summer of typhus and the like than in winter.

@@arty5876 you mean winter not russian army
@@Hugo-cn9no most of French army was destroyed by hunger and desias in summer, because very experienced in combat, Russian general Barclay de Tolly, of Russo-English-Polish-Litwanyan origin, in 1806, during the Fourth Coalition, after the battle for Presische Eilish, which ended in a draw and heavy losses on both sides, being wounded, after distinguished himself in the battle, told Alexander the first his vision of the war with France.
The Russian army in 1812 in the European part of Russia was outnumbered by the French by more than 2 times. Russia had 330 thousand soldiers, 1300 guns and 20 thousand cavalry. Napoleon gathered an army of 600 thousand soldiers, 40 thousand cavalary, 1 100 guns, including 80 thousand Austrians advancing on Kiev, 70 thousand Prussians advancing on Petersburg, 80 thousand Poles, 85 thousand else soldiers, and 390 thousand French attacking Moscow. However, the Russian command knew that due to the huge distance between France and Russia, Napoleon would not be able to supply his troops, and his army would receive food and supplies by plundering the occupied territories of Russia. General Barclay proposed to buy out without a fight, and destroy the industry and agriculture of Russia, in order to deprive the French army of supplies, and to avoid the defeat of the Russian troops. Russia acted on this principle. As a result, over the summer more than 70 thousand French soldiers died from illness and exhaustion, supply lines stretched for many kilometers and were successfully attacked by the Cossacks under the command of General Platov, and the entire Great Army became incapable of combat. As a result, by August, half of Napoleon's troops were in the rear, guarding the occupied territories, 70 thousands died of disease and hunger, another 40 thousands died in battles, and he was with 130 thousands exhausted soldiers near Moscow. And opposite 120 thousand Russians. But the problem was that Russia is a huge country, Napoleon had a lot of room to maneuver, a lot of room where he could advance. Therefore, in the Battle of Borodino, the Russian troops were stretched over a long distance, because it was not known where exactly Napoleon would hit. Napoleon wanted to surround Kutuzov with cavalry maneuvers, but failed, precisely because Russian troops were located everywhere, and because of this Napoleon would not be able to use his legendary cavalry in battle, because after several hours of battle the cavalry would be tired and incapable of combat. However, due to the fact that the Russian troops were stretched, Napoleon managed to successfully hit in a very narrow sector, and despite the fact that the Russian troops were not inferior in numbers to the French, and outnumbered without cavalry, the French had a huge numerical superiority over the enemy, and despite exhaustion, they broke through the defense lines. The Russian defense collapsed and the retreat began, but General Bagration went to the battlefield, raised the flag, and talked a pretentious speech, after which Russian troops, leading by him, counterattacked with a bayonet, stopping the French offensive, but General Bagration was mortally wounded. At this point the battle of Borodino ended, and the Russian troops retreated, evacuated and burned Moscow. Then Napoleon sat for 2 months in the ruins of the city, and tried to make peace. His troops ate the horses from hunger, and winter began. Kutuzov counter-attacked near Moscow, trying to encircle Napoleon, but the French began to retreat, throwing guns and heavy equipment. Then there was the pursuit of Napoleon, but the Russian troops missed the opportunity to encircle him near Smolensk due to casualties from the cold, the army was quartered in the liberated cities. But towards Napoleon was General Chichigov, who blocked the river Berezina. However, a strong blizzard and forest terrain made it difficult for Wintgenstein's army to pass, advancing from the direction of Petersburg, which had previously stopped the offensive of the Prussian army under the command of General York, which, with the beginning of the withdrawal from Moscow, began secret negotiations and made peace with Russia, just like the Austrian army of Schwarzenberg, advancing on Kiev, ended the offensive back in July due to the blow of the Cossacks under Platov's command to their rear. Forest terrain almost stopped his advance, and the Polish cavalry legion, under cover of a blizzard, armed by cold weapon, was able to quietly get close to the troops of Kutuzov, that was fatal to infantry. This seriously slowed the Russians down, and Napoleon made a false attack across the bridge over the Berezina, diverting most of Tormasov's troops, while Dutch engineers built another bridge a few kilometers to the north, and the French army half-crossed. Half of them were overtaken by Russian troops, and either were taken prisoner or drowned in icy water, trying to escape. This is the end of the Russian campaign. France and allies lost 90 thousand died form desias, 200 thousand from cold, 110 thousand killed, 220 thousand captured or injured. Russia lost 150-210 thousand killed, 150 thousand injured, 50 thousand deserted. That was a turning point of war. Most of French troops were destroyed, and occupied by French Europe became undefended, while Russia, Austria, and Prussia opposite, grew in numbers of troops, and have *TOTAL* numericial superiority in 1813, resulting victry over Napoleon and conquest of Paris

France, the country that helped the US gained its independence from Britain including Spain and the Netherlands. The country that went through a revolution and suffered rebellion, unrest, and foreign conflicts. The country where half its population spoke French during The French Revolution. Now, it's a Republic, defeating many kingdoms and making smaller kingdoms into puppet states and making them Republics. The country where Napoleon crowned himself Emperor and managed to defeat the great powers of Europe, but eventually be defeated. After that, it became a Monarch again and Napoleon came back and was defeated again and France would be a monarch again. All that in the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
And napoleon would be defeated again

If nothing else Napoleon did achieve one thing that future generations would be forever grateful for: he ended the abomination that was the Holy Roman Empire.
I heard the International Cartographers' Guild erected a statue in his honor.
No he didn't, that states were still independent after he lost.
It was easy to make europe, just paint all the HRE like one country.
After Napoleon destroyed HRE the German Confederation was made, that new state was an abomination for maps.
@@nicks5636 Apart from the Confederation, he united many small countries into larger ones that were allied to him, so he made it easier (Bavaria and Saxony).
He also ended the Spanish inquisition and the tyrany of using some random king appendages as a measurement unit.
Giving the people equal rights before the law and granting the jews equal rights to everyone else was just a nice bonus
@@nicks5636 He created the confederation of the Rhine, creating bigger entities and harmonizing the legal and political system, though Germany was still far from unified, it layed the foundation of modern Germany and actually put an end of the administrative chaos in Germany.
When you think about it, it's kinda funny that Germany had the worst political and legal organization for most of its history whilst being seen today as an organized people. :)
Great video! So much work and details! Thank you so much for this super video! Big like!
7:38 “preace treaties”
3:17 I love how the music gets aggressive when Russia joins in, as if a big Juggernaut awoke
France: Why do I hear boss music?
France: ooooh noOooO
Russia was actually pretty weak in the Napoleonic wars. The only reason they won is because they were smart enough to run away, and Napoleon was foolish enough to follow.
the music (1812 ouverture) was actually written to represent the war between France and Russia. Thus the main themes answering each other are the French and Tzarist national anthems, trying to drown the other out.
@@tennisballbird and because of their fuccin winter
Me, before watching the video: "How nice would it be if Emperor Tigerstar used 1812 Overtoure as the music?"
Emperor Tigerstar: uses 1812 Overtoure as music
Me: happy viewer noises
But version without cannons :(
Maybe at the time period I prefer putting late Mozart in the French Revolution and Beethoven in the Napoleonic Wars. Eroica Symphony was written for Napoleon.
@@Danterobo Well, 1812 Overtoure is about the napoleonic campaign of Russoa, so it fits, too
I love how the music gets more intense in 3:13 as half of Europe joins the coalition.
Napoleon won like 5 times against all of Europe
*EPIC*
His problem is he didnt know when to stop winning
@@PRubin-rh4sr he made 3 very very big mistakes
attacking the ottomans when he had enough enemies already instead of keeping his armies in france and secure what he had won and use the extra men against the next coalitions
attacking spain while they were his allies so he didn't need to fight them
attacking russia in the winter while also being busy in spain
@@TheHunterOfYharnam Well in fact, Napoleon never choosed to attack the Ottoman. It's the French gouvernement that sent him in Egypte (he was not in charge at the time) to keep him away from France internal politics affairs because they were afraid of his popularity. And they were hopping very hard that nopleon get killed there.
Also he didn't choosed to attack spanish, it's the spanish people that rebels against France because life was too hard for too long... Napoleon tried to restaure order to have free hand somewhere else.
@@Weget2 ah thanks for clearing this up for cause i have have seen many documentaries and stuff but they never mentioned these
but couldn't he just try to keep good relations with spain and not go to war with them?
@@TheHunterOfYharnam Well, Napoleon placed his brother Joseph to rules spain to be sure that it will follow France but you guess that the spanish people desagree with this.
Plus the fact that, because of the economics struggle in France, because of the british control of the seas litteraly cutting all incomes, life was really hard for the French. So i imagine that it was even worse for the spanish people because of the occupation.
I guess things in spain could be managed better but you know... at this time the doctrine was more to shoot on rebels with rifles (What Napoleon and everybody else used to do in their own country) than help people with money the states did not have.

When Royalist troops were deployed to stop the march of Napoleon after he escaped from Elba. Napoleon stepped out in front of them and said "If any of you will shoot his emperor, here I am." The Royalists joined his army.
They were not royalists, they were french troops, and some of them had served Napoleon previously (Their leading general for instance).
Even after his final defeat, the french kingdom keeped troops under service. They had hard time to make the old guard say "long live the king" tho.

As a swede living in Umeå i'm so happy that you included the skirmishes around Umeå in august 1809. which is a small detail that often is overlooked, but is quite importatnt where i live.
@Elijah Edric Guinto:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ume%C3%A5
Oh man I never knew that ! Where did it happen ? Near Nidala lake, towards the sea or rather on the other side towards what's now the observatory ?
@@Cancoillotteman there was a battle in Hörnefors och Sävar and also a smaller engagement in Ratan. And the russians occupied Umeå. So to be precisely there was no battle in Umeå but in but in the county around it. Fun fact is that the Battle in Sävar was the last battle fought on Swedish territory in history! I live in Hörnefors on the old battlefield so i'm quite interested in the battles fought here
@Elijah Edric Guinto Umeå is in northern sweden. It was the furthest down on the Swedish coast the russians came during the finnish war
@@Linkan1998 I used to live in Ålidhem three years ago, I love that town :)
I want to remind people, that it took 7 coalitions and most of eroupe to defeat one country. Just shows you how much pf a genius Napoleon was when it came to strategy.
I want to remind you, that Spain, Netherlands (Batavian Republic), Italy (Kingdom of Italy, Kingdom of Naples, Kingdom of Etruria), Switzerland, Dano-Norwegian Realm, 20+ german states fought on the France's side. In addition Austria, Prussia, Sweden and Russian Empire were allies of France at different times during the war.
Against 1 country you say? It's not a school fight in the backyard, war doesn't work like that. And Napoleon wasn't a genius, as well as any other general of the world in that epoch.
If you wanna have a more clear understanding and comprehension of those wars, read "War and Peace" of Leo Tolstoy.
@@TheMurtukov how tf did you miss out Poland, pretty much their only loyal ally? Or am I blind. Either way to the original commenter; THANK YOU! Finally someone who appreciates the help France got from its allies!
@@davrosdarlek7058 there are 60+ countries involved in these wars. It's easy to miss a country. Obviously I didn't list all the countries.
Yyyy U gay, these countries changed their names and territories during the war, so technically there are more countries
@Тимур Муртуков this is narrow-viewed. Most of his ‘allies’ barely assisted in his wars. Russia did almost nothing against Austria, likewise from them. He won almost all his wars alone with his French army. His allies were predominantly procured by winning wars. So that’s equivalent to saying the Cossacks helped the Russians, as they were already encompassed by Russia. These stated had little assistance until the massive Russian campaign that almost had more foreigners then French. Your use of his ‘allies’ as counter claim is completely devoid of context and reality.
Regardless, the biggest blunder is declaring Napoleon an average general. This is simply false. He won the most battles in history, against formidable odds occasionally. He revolutionized warfare and invented systems like the corps. His battles are still studied, he would not be this successful if he was ‘average’. And this is ignoring all his political and social reforms.
Dude, thank you for putting this much effert in this video.
Lessons learned: Don't invade Russia and don't put your brother on the Spanish throne.
Wait. Some French guy called Louis actually did put a brother on Spanish throne and somehow succeeded. Mmmmm🧐
Really didnt need to invade Spain at all... altho they wanted Catalonia. Could have let the Russians come to them... hmmm yeah Napoleon once invading Spain was on his back foot.
Fun thing is that the current king of Spain is from a French dinasty, which was the same dinasty from Napoleon's time. This damn family has been expelled from the country several times but they always come back. Next time will be for good.
Additionally, the current dynasty in Sweden comes from one of Napoléon's officers.
depend who's the brother... if he's at Napoleon level, well, all good... if he's hardly an improvement of the Bourbons... to bad
5:56 The Napoleon's Fatal Error
If Napoléon didn't attack Spain, he would've probably taken out Russia. That sucks
Both Russia and Spain trace back to the continental system which Napoleon was desperately trying to enforce. That was his mistake.
Yep france after that need to stay an army every time in 2 fronts...
Something that i find genuinely interesting is that a majority of the wars Napoleon took part in were technically defensive ones, meaning it was Europe who declared on him. We just don’t really see it like that because even though he was declared on, he would almost immediately take the fight to them. Of course, he still declared offensive wars plenty (and ironically his two greatest campaign failures, the Russian campaign and the Peninsular war, were both offensive wars by Napoleon), but aside from maybe using war as a means to an end too freely in the latter part of his reign, i struggle to call him an outright warmonger.
I'm still amazed at how well France did considering it was basically in a state of total anarchy for 20 years prior, managing to conquer literally everything from Portugal to Moscow.

It took the whole of Europe 7 coalitions and 17 years of constant fighting to finally beat the french, and they ended up giving it basicially the pre war borders. Thats mindblowingly generous compared to modern peace treatys...
to be fair like 40% of france was occupied for a few years and they had to pay a giant sum of money
There were massive reparations though.
Heavier than those Germany paid after WW1 in comparison to GDP (which is ridiculous since France had caused very little damages in invaded countries, unlike WW1 Germany)
Europe knew that if it carved up France, it would destroy the balance of power. The nations didn't trust each other and didn't want to agree to any treaty that made the others more powerful. So they left France as a barrier against each other getting too powerful.
